Read the reference again it reflects the real history., and not your white wash of the South. Pushed it through without the support of the South.

As noted in the reference Strong Thurmond's boycote of the Civil rights legislation and run for the president.

The filibuster that almost killed the Civil Rights Act

It was of course the Democrats that led the record Senate filibuster in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Included among the organizers were several prominent and well-known liberal Democrat standard-bearers including Robert Byrd (Senate Majority Leader, President pro tempore of the Senate^[1][2]Woodrow Wilson











1. Third in the line of succession to the presidency behind the Vice President and Speaker of the House

2. In a speech on civil rights Al Gore claimed that,

Oh, come on, rogue, surely know by now that party labels have flipped in the last 40-years, and yesterday's Democrats are today's Republicans.

(At least that's what liberals like to claim. )

The reality of the situation is that, at least as far as the South goes, it was the children and mostly grandchildren of Democrats from the 60s who became Republican. Republicans only started making significant inroads down here, politically speaking, decades after the passage of the CRA and VRA.

Very wordy unnecessary post the facts remain concerning the South. What you refer to is the country as whole eventually passed the Civil Rights and voting rights. The reality of the South in history is another terrible story.

In your view Napolean won the Battle of Waterloo. Your trying to rewrite the real history. The South most definitely went Republican in response to the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Laws, and the shift integration.

You apparently are a true believer, and save your Confederate money and flags.



It is a fact that the Denocratic South became Republican in this period as what was before Democratic called Dixiecrates.

The Dixiecrats, with very few exceptions, went back to the Democrat Party and remained there for the rest of their lives. Just like George Wallace did. Just like all the leaders of the filibusters against the CRA and VRA.

None of this is disputable.

Similarly, it wasn't until decades later, when new generations arose and many from that generation were dying off, that the South started turning Republican.

It is very diputable you bias is trying to rewrite history. My references stand as the history of Southern Democrates became Republicans. You have not responded to the facts.

Fact the South was Democratic, and now it is Republican, though some black Democrates are being elected in the South changing the trend.

Historically and factually true, regardless of what anyone claims.

Coming from someone who has claimed that Dixiecrats were Republicans

Yes some Dixicrates became Republican, the evidence of White voter registration between 1960 and 1970 is clear evidence that the South factually was Democratic in 1960, and by 1970 it was Republican.

If the South went Republican as a result of legislation passed in the early to mid 60s then why did it take a couple of decades before that change started taking place? What were the racists waiting for?

[quote] Further, that civil rights legislation would have never passed without overwhelming support by Republicans in both the House in Senate. [The support was from Western and Northern members of both parties.

There is after all a reason that the NAACP presented Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen a civil rights accomplishment award in recognition of his yeoman service in getting the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts passed. So why in the world would racists defect en masse from the Democrats -- many of whom led the resistance to passing civil rights legislation -- and join the party responsible for pushing it through?

Not whites from the South. Everett Dirkson is from Illinois.
